Oh, my tomorrow is going to be intersecting. Thought Alice while she went to sleep with a smile on her face after two year. It feels nice to smile for real again after so long was Alice last thought

Chapter 5

"Ok. How I'm going to tell Julius that I'm going to the castle of hearts ball with no other then Blood Dupre." thought Alice as she was finishing Julius coffee. Alice started to head to Julius study room. All the way Alice was thinking of a way to tell him the news as gently as possible so he would not find out that Blood was forcing her to go with him to ball. "But is he really forcing you? Of course he is." thought Alice.

Knock. Knock

"May I come in Julius?" ask Alice in a worry voice.

"Of course you may Alice and I might say just in time. I have something to ask you." said Julius as he put his tools down to take the coffee that Alice that made for him.

"That's funny because I have something to tell you too." Alice said while she put down the tray that held Julius coffee. "But you can go first." She said with a shaky voice.

"Very while then." said Julius with a concerned look. "There is going to be a ball at the castle of hearts just like last year and I was wondering if you would like to come with me like last year." Julius said while taking a sip of his coffee "Oh and by the way your score today is a ninety," he said with a smile

" First thank you for the score and second funny thing that you mention the ball because what I have to tell you about just happen to be about the ball too." said Alice while turn pale. "It now or never." thought Alice. " I would love to go to the ball with you but someone as already ask me to and I say yes already." said Alice looking down look at anything but Julius.

"Oh yes. While that ok but do tell me who it is. Please tell me that is not Peter white," ask Julius in a horrified way

"Oh god no. Heavens no. I shall be going to the ball with Blood Dupre.," said Alice but this time she was looking down in shame. All at once, Julius stood up.

"Your going with Blood Alice." said Julius while waking over to her.

"Yes." said Alice raising her head up and looked up at Julius

"Alice is he making you goes with him?" asked Julius. Oh, gods no please do not ask me that Julius. Anything but that. Thought Alice

"No. His not. It was just when I went to the hatter mansion to say hello to everyone I saw him and he told me about the ball and ask me if I would go with him and I said sure." said Alice

"Ok if you say so. What time will he be picking you up then?" ask Julius walk back to his desk.

"At seven a clock." answer Alice

"Then you best be getting ready for the ball. It already twelve a clock at noon. Do you have everything you need to change?" ask Julius with a smile

"Yes I do. Wait is you saying that I have the rest of the day to get ready?" ask Alice with joy in her voice

"Yes." said Julius

"Oh thank you thank you Julius." Alice said while running to hug Julius.

"Your welcome. No go on your way." said Julius. Alice stood up and started to head to the door

"Wait Alice. If you where in trouble you would tell me right?" ask Julius. With out turning in back to look at Julius Alice answer back

"Of course Julius. See you later Julius." she said as she walk out of the room.

Five hours later Alice had already bathed in a rose scented bath and her hair was done. Instead of her straight hair Alice had Elegant Romantic Curls.

Putting the dress and shoes took her a while but she got them on. The dress was so soft and comfortable. Nothing compare to her wedding dress. Her wedding dress may be the most modern and beautiful dress at the time but it was nothing compares the beauty and softness of this dress that she was wearing right now. Oh and the shoes were as soft as the dress. She felt like a princess, or better yet like Cinderella.

After an hour or so of fixing her dress and shoes. All that was left was the jewelry. Alice pick up the little box the held the pair of sliver blue earrings with a sliver pocket watch necklace. First, she put the earring then she put on the pocket watch. As she put them on, she felt like she was becoming Bloods lover "But that impossible Alice thought to her self. Nevertheless, would I want to be? No Alice you'll only get hurt"

Knock. Knock

"Alice may I come in" ask Julius

"Yes. Come in Julius." answer back Alice.

"Wow you look lovely Alice." said Julius

"Thank you. You look dashing to." said Alice

"Oh while thank you. I was just coming to say I about to leave and to see if you need anything?" ask Julius

"No. I don't need anything Julius but thank you for asking." said Alice

"Oh. Ok then. I shall see you at the ball then Alice good-bye.," said Julius while reaching Alice's gloved hand to kiss

"Good-bye Julius. See you at the ball." Alice said with a blush

After thirty minutes Julius had left, it was seven a clock and there was a knock at the door. Alice was already waiting at the door so when Blood knock she would not run down the stairs with her slippers and fall.

Breathe Alice. Alice thought as she open the door. And standing there was the mafia boss in his white tuxedo with out a hat, holding out a bouquet of a dozen red roses.

"My lady." said Blood with a smirk

"Blood their beautiful. They seem unreal.," said Alice reaching for the roses

"Like you Alice. You look lovely with the dress. I hope everything is to your liking." Blood said with a sweet smile while reaching for Alice gloved had to kiss. Alice was in shocked. Blood had never called her by her name it was always My lady. She liked him calling her name just as much she like the smile he had just showed her.

Maybe this night will not me as bad as I thought. Alice thought

As they started to walk to the castle of heart, Alice was think about the pocket watch she was wearing. She knew that the people who lived here had clock for heart so who's heart was she wearing as jewelry. In addition, how did he get it?

"What are you think about My lady." Ask Blood after a while of silence

"I was just thinking if everyone hearts are clock here then why did you give me a pocket watch. Shouldn't it be someone's heart?" ask Alice

"A very good question My Lady but I shall answer that question later in the ball." said Blood

"But why later why not now." ask Alice while stopping

"Because it's not the right time." said Blood and stopping as while

"But you promise to answer me?" ask Alice

"Yes. Now shall we?" said Blood. Alice just looks at him for a few moments he looks like he was telling truth.

"Fine" she said and then started to walk. When they got the castle of hearts, the band was playing and couples where dancing.

"Shall we Alice." ask Blood

"Shall we what?" ask Alice

"Dance My Lady." said Blood while softly laughing

"Sure." answer Alice with a blush. Blood lead Alice to the dance floor just a new song started to play. (The piano version of the last time by Taylor swift and Gary Lightbody) Alice and Blood dance in silence.

"My Lady how do you like the ball so Far." ask Blood while moving away from a couple who was to close to them

"I like it very much." said Alice shyly

"Good so I bet that your beloved ex never treated you like this. Pray tell me do I look like him now. Did he every treated you as I am right now. Tell me how is he. My lady." Blood said with anger behind every word he said. Alice had stop dancing so had Blood they were just look at each other.

"What?" Alice said has she felt her heart break in to millions of pieces.

"You heard me My Lady or do you wish me to repeat the question." answer Blood looking down to Alice with angry eyes.

"No." was all that she could say before she started to run to the castle of hearts garden while crying. Before she could get to it, someone grabbed her wrist. It was Boris.

"Hold on Alice what's wrong. Why are you crying? What happen?" ask Boris

"Let go of me! Leave me alone!" said Alice while struggling to get free "Please Boris. Let me go."

"But" he said

"Please." said Alice. Looking at her Blue watery eyes Boris felt it was the right thing to do was to let her go.

Once free Alice ran as fast as she could until she goes to the fountain that was in the garden. When she got their Alice broke down completely. She fell to the ground and start to cry all that she had felt the past two her.

"Why" was that she could say. "Why me." Alice was so busy Crying that she had not heard footstep coming to her direction. She did not know that Blood was behind her until he put a hand softly on her shoulder. Slowly Alice lifted her head up. When she saw who it was she quickly tried to run away but Blood was to fast, he quickly spin her around and wrap his arm around Alice so that she was facing his chest. With out wasting a second Alice start to punch and hit Blood chest while saying

"You bastard. I hate you. I hake him to but I hate you more because you got me to fall in love with you."

"What did you say?" ask Blood looking down to Alice with hope

"I say that I hated Alec my ex but I hate you more now because you got me to fall in love with you" Alice said while just crying. The only thing that was holding her up was Blood's arms.

"Hush Love. Come down." Blood said while but their forehead together.

"Love?" ask Alice while looking up

"Yes Love." said Blood with a loving smile

"Stop Please Just Stop. Don't hurt me anymore." said Alice while sobbing

"Hurt you, but how Alice. I just said I loved you and I mean it ." Blood said with a questionable look

"Because you and I can never be together." said Alice dropping her head down in shame while crying

"Why not." Ask Blood strongly

"Because…. Because … I'm engaged to him." said Alice falling to ground again

"You're what. You are engaged with your ex. Why? Tell me now Alice." said Blood pick her up by the arm rough fully and shaking her. Alice screamed from the pain and shock that she felt

"I didn't want to but I was forced to." said Alice crying

"Who forced you and why." Blood yelled.

"My parent forced me because my step mother wanted to get rid of me and since my father loves her very much he agreed. But I do not love him he hit's me and yell at me. I'm scared of him." Alice said while shaking her head

"He hit's you Alice. Then why would you ever want to go back and marry him. Stay here. Stay with me." said Blood softly

"Stay here with you so you can bully me and insult me. I bit this is all just a cruel joke from you saying that you love me. Let go of me now!" said Alice while struggling again to get way from him

"No I'm not joking and I can prove it but you have to stop struggle." Said Blood calmly.

I cannot fight him anymore. Please Blood prove it. Prove it to me. Please do not be lying to me. Thought Alice while she stops struggling and look up at him with hope.

"you ask me when we coming to the ball why had I given you a pocket watch when every ones hearts were clock here in the country of heart." said Blood while lowering his head so that his lip where right next to her ear and said "Alice your wearing my heart." the Blood stood up start and just look at Alice with a smile not a smirk

"What. Then? But how?" Ask Alice confuse

" Here in the country of hearts when some one love someone with their whole being soul and body the way we ask if that person will share their lives with us for the just are life is by giving them our heart literary. We still live if you are worried about that. It is just that are heart work as one. In other words." Blood said while bending one knee "Alice will you make me the happiest man in the world and take my heart and look after it and care for it as my wife forever until the need of time." said Blood
